Phil Tilley, Head of CloudBand and NFV Marketing at Nokia, describes his views on network functions virtualization (NFV) and how Nokia’s solutions achieve new capabilities for communications service providers. The new CloudBand Open Templating system announced in late 2016 helps standardize, simplify and automate the process for onboarding virtual functions.

Phil Tilley shares what he finds most exciting as we move to broad implementations of NFV, including the changes to the way enterprise services will be delivered.
